Earlier this week saw the release of the trailer for Martin Scorsese's latest movie, "The Wolf Of Wall Street", and we got another glimpse at the chameleonic talent that is Leonardo DiCaprio.It's not an overstatement to say that Leo is one of, if not The best actor of our generation, often called "our Robert De Niro". He has been consistently fantastic in everything he's been in, yet has also consistently lost out on that elusive Academy Award. He's been nominated three times - Best Actor for The Aviator and Blood Diamond, Best Supporting Actor for What's Eating Gilbert Grape? - but he's always left applauding the eventual winner, doing his best not to look disappointed in front of the millions of Oscar viewers.
How many of these roles has DiCaprio played? Well, let's have a look see:
1. based on true story we may say: The Aviator, Catch Me If You Can, Titanic (some of)
2.based on famous adaptation: The Great Gatsby, Revolutionary Road, Romeo & Juliet, Marvin's Room, This Boy's Life
This is clear that his CV is bursting at the seams with memorably iconic roles, any one of which most other actors would sell their grandmothers for. So then, why has he been left going home empty handed after the Academy Awards ceremonies each year?
I've got some of the reasons:
1. The guy is unlucky: The three times he was nominated, he lost all of them; some times was runner up like in The aviator.
2. Maybe because of jealous: We think back to when every teenage girl had a poster of him on their bedroom wall, and we men hated him; hated him like the way we hated Boyzone
3. Maybe because he is too serious: Is DiCaprio the kind of person you could see popping up in a rom-com? No, but maybe he should. Not necessarily He's Just Not That Into New Year's Eve This Valentine's Day Diary, but something that shows his comedic, light-hearted side, like Ryan Gosling did in Crazy Stupid Love.
When I see their choice in nominations and winners I wonder what kind of people even have a chance to pose judgement on actors like Leonardo. Nothing in their choice is honest anymore. It is all fake and the Oscars mean nothing to us, normal, ordinary people with a little taste in good movies.
Leonardo Dicaprio is unlucky in the Oscars award? or just jealous from the judges!!
